Nine Decades Earlier

10th and Grove, Oakland, CA 1920
Amy, Carl, Ken, C. Arthur

Yup ... same porch only nine decades earlier! Dad is one of the twins here .... I'll let you guess. Observe the gentleness of a mother ... there is something special speical in her look and touch. Ensuring that her son stays seated. And the gentle touch of the father almost looking like he is blessing his son. Then in his hand he holds the camera, wanting to get a picture of the boys, Carl and Ken.

God too looks at us kindly ... whether God is male or female is irrelevant rather ... it is God's gentle care for us whatever our age. God desires that we care for one another and implores that we do the same in our daily walk.

Today ... care for someone ... extend your comfort zone to "that person" ... your care will be like the sun on a sunflower. The sunflower seeks the light. Just as people follow the love.
